Description

Whipped vanilla delight frosting blends creamy textures with delicate sweetness for an irresistible topping. Bakers can elevate desserts with this simple yet elegant recipe that promises to impress you with its light and airy finish.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (3.4 oz or 96 g) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 8 oz (226 g) Cool Whip (thawed)
  • ½ cup (120 ml) milk
  • 2 tbsps powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Whisk Fusion: Combine pudding mix, confectioner’s sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer at medium-high speed until ingredients seamlessly blend into a smooth, lump-free cream.
  2. Topping Integration: Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the pudding base, carefully maintaining its airy structure while mixing until a uniform, luminous frosting develops with consistent texture.
  3. Texture Perfection: Continue whisking at moderate speed, ensuring no dense pockets remain and the mixture achieves a cloud-like consistency that is both light and creamy.
  4. Final Preparation: Transfer the completed frosting to a sealed container, ready to embellish desserts or serve as a delectable topping, and refrigerate to preserve its pristine quality for future culinary creations.

Notes

  • Prevent Lumps: Sift dry ingredients before mixing to eliminate potential clumps and ensure a super smooth frosting texture.
  • Temperature Matters: Use room temperature ingredients for seamless blending and optimal cream consistency.
  • Whipping Technique: Fold whipped topping gently to maintain its light, airy structure and prevent deflating the mixture.
  • Storage Hack: Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days, ensuring freshness and preserving the frosting’s silky texture.
